My Avatar is Becoming the Ultimate BOSS

Gu Wenyu woke up. He opened his eyes in bed and looked towards the window. The sky was not fully dark yet, and the glass curtain walls of the distant buildings reflected a blood-red sky with a streak of fiery clouds stretching across.

"You're finally awake?"

Su Zimai sat by the bed. Seeing him move, she lifted her eyes from her phone to look at him.

Gu Wenyu blinked his eyes and turned his head to look at his sister, curiously asking:

"What happened to me just now?"

"Ha? You actually have the nerve to say that?" Su Zimai frowned, "First, you suddenly spouted a bunch of nonsensical words, then you collapsed on the sofa and passed out."

"Oh, oh, it feels like it's because I've been staying up all night. I haven't really closed my eyes lately..." Gu Wenyu yawned and slowly got up, "I really should maintain a healthy routine in the future."

Ji Minghuan's words were true.

Over the past half month, due to the different local times where the three machines were located, he was almost caught in an endless cycle due to the time difference.

For example, just as the night falls in Machine No. 1's location, dawn breaks in Machine No. 2's location. Just after putting one machine to sleep, another needs to wake up for work.

As it stands, finding a time to let the spirit truly relax is likely a difficult thing.

However, when Ji Minghuan's body is idle and bored, he either lies on the bed dazing or sits on the floor watching TV, so his body doesn't bear much burden. It's just the mind that needs rest.

And after this period of relentless honing, unless the mental pressure becomes so great that it causes him to collapse — like the incident in the underground bar — he can still maintain basic rational thinking.

He is not so prone to encountering fatal issues due to mental stress.

But after this, when Xia Pingzhou and the other group members return to Japan, it should be much better.

The time difference between Tokyo and Li Jing is one hour, which means when Machines No. 1 and No. 3 are resting, Machine No. 2 should also be going to bed. This gives Ji Minghuan's brain a chance to rest.

Should I consider switching to trustee mode? Ji Minghuan thought, then decided against it, fearing it might cause great disaster.

When he's playing Black Cocoon, he's just pretending to be crazy, but the personality AI simulated from his behavior might actually go mad.

"My brother and I were almost scared to death by you just now." Su Zimai clutched her chest, "Especially worried you might wake up with dementia. If that happened, apart from Dad being demented, we'd have one more, the sky would have fallen."

Gu Wenyu looked down at the blanket covering him: "Unlike you, I'm not battle-hardened. It's normal for me to have a weaker psychological endurance."

He was silent for a moment: "Is Big Brother really Blue Arc?"

"I said, you're not about to faint again, are you?" Su Zimai narrowed her eyes, testing.

"I promise I won't. It was because I hadn't rested well before."

"Big Brother is indeed Blue Arc, didn't you see it in the living room? How many superpower users in the world can use lightning?" Su Zimai paused, "So, how do you feel now?"

"My first feeling is... I'm screwed. I said a bunch of bad things about Blue Arc in front of Big Brother before." Gu Wenyu quipped, "Thankfully, I passed out just now, otherwise you'd have berated me endlessly. Sorry that didn't happen for you guys."

"It's fine, I said a lot of bad things about Blue Arc too. Now it's time to separate 'Blue Arc' from Big Brother." Su Zimai said, "Besides... it's better than our dad, who doesn't act like a good person, right?"

"What happened with Dad?" Gu Wenyu raised an eyebrow.

"Did you forget?" Su Zimai said disdainfully, "He praised Ghost Bell at the table as a tough guy, and who doesn't know Big Brother got beaten by Ghost Bell numerous times?"

"Makes sense." Gu Wenyu nodded, "If Dad knew Big Brother was Blue Arc, he'd definitely regret saying those things."

"Why do you seem so calm?" Su Zimai tilted her head, "Don't tell me you already knew about Brother's identity? I was looking forward to your reaction, didn't expect you'd just sleep through it, really admire you."

Saying this, she couldn't help but slightly curve the corners of her mouth.

"Or rather, my brain hasn't caught up yet. Suddenly knowing Big Bro is the most popular superhero, with loads of enemies chasing him for revenge, and he just got beat up yesterday to the point of being half-paralyzed." Gu Wenyu shrugged, "Should I be happy or sad? Can't quite figure it out."

"It's normal, I'm the same."

"By the way, Big Brother is a superpower user, you're an Exorcist, hence our family has only one ordinary person, me?"

"Are you not counting Dad as a person? He's here with you... Besides, it's actually quite nice."

"What do you mean by quite nice?"

"Sometimes I wish Big Brother was an ordinary person too, so he wouldn't look so tired."

Su Zimai slightly lowered her eyes, the afterglow of the setting sun streaming through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto her cheek.

"Speaking of which, what should we do about the events of the past two days?" Gu Wenyu scratched his nose, "Mu Long said Big Brother accidentally killed someone, Big Brother he..."

"Because of this matter, he's planning to wash his hands of it." Su Zimai said, "Big Brother also said, he's going to apply to withdraw from the Mutants Association in the next couple of days. By the way, just this afternoon, Rainbow Wings extended an invitation for him to join."

"Rainbow Wings?" Gu Wenyu was taken aback, "Isn't that the organization that did Mom in?"

Su Zimai nodded, "Yes, but Brother said, he doesn't want to continue anymore."

Gu Wenyu was silent for a moment, "But... the opportunity is right in front of us, if he retreats."

"I will see it through." Su Zimai raised her head, staring into his eyes, "He's tired, so I'll take his place to uncover the truth about Mom. I will definitely become a prominent Exorcist in the future, and then make contact with the people of Rainbow Wings."
